Belief Systems as Bridge-Builders, Not Barriers. Our life experiences inform and coalesce into the belief systems that guide our choices. When we come together with others—at home, in neighborhoods, in volunteers groups, or at work—our respective belief systems come into contact with those that others hold.

This weekend I taught a three-hour session on Systems to students in Georgetown’s Organization Development and Change Leadership Certificate program.

To solve the silo problem, you need to increase your capacity for systems thinking. The different parts of the system need to be able to see how what they are doing is causing in impact in another part of the system, even if it’s delayed or somewhat indirect. That inhibits systems thinking. December 2006 (10).

The post talks about leadership as a systems capacity (rather than an individual capacity or the person in a position of authority) and connects to some key points from Humanize. December 2006 (10). November 2006 (9). October 2006 (8). September 2006 (10). August 2006 (12). July 2006 (5).
